🌦️ FRIDAY TO EARLY SUNDAY OUTLOOK | 12/06/2026 🌦️

Good morning Australia!

While much of Queensland and New South Wales look set for a fairly pleasant weekend, winter is continuing to make its presence felt across parts of Western and Southern Australia.

This morning, a cold front associated with a low pressure system is moving through the Pilbara and Gascoyne regions of WA, bringing widespread rain, cooler temperatures and a proper taste of winter conditions.

Many locations could see moderate to heavy falls over the coming day, with widespread totals of 30-40mm possible and isolated areas potentially receiving even more where the heavier rain persists.

As we move through Friday and into Saturday, this system will continue pushing eastwards through remote parts of WA before spreading showers and cooler conditions into parts of South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania.

By Sunday, the front is expected to weaken as it reaches New South Wales, although scattered showers may still linger across some southern districts.

Looking a little further ahead, forecast models are beginning to hint at a low pressure system developing and stalling over the Great Australian Bight. If this occurs, it could help maintain a wetter pattern across parts of southern Australia next week. It's still a little too early to lock in the details, but it's certainly something I'll be keeping an eye on.

For those in Queensland and much of New South Wales, the weekend is looking considerably quieter, with plenty of sunshine expected for many areas. A few coastal showers may still drift through at times, but widespread rainfall is not anticipated.

One thing worth mentioning is that the rainfall earlier this week performed very close to forecast totals expectations, with many areas seeing totals fall within the ranges outlined in previous updates.

🌧️ SEQ RAIN UPDATE 🌧️ 11:50am

If you're in Southeast Queensland, it might be time to grab the umbrella.

A large area of moderate to heavy rainfall is continuing to move towards the coastline this afternoon as a persistent onshore flow pushes moisture in from the ocean.

Many coastal locations can expect periods of rain over the coming hours, with some areas likely to pick up a decent contribution towards the rainfall totals discussed in previous outlooks.

Along with the rain, some gusty winds are also possible, particularly in more exposed coastal areas.

This is exactly the sort of pattern we've been talking about over recent days, not necessarily constant heavy rain, but repeated showers and rain areas that gradually add up over time.

🌧️ INLAND RAIN NOW UNDERWAY 🌧️ 10/06/2026

The inland rain totals we've been discussing over recent days has now arrived, with grey skies, widespread rain and pockets of heavier falls settling across parts of inland Queensland and New South Wales this morning.

Some locations have already picked up around 5-10 mm, with plenty more rainfall still expected throughout today and into tomorrow.

The main area of rain is currently centred around locations including Jobs Gate (QLD), Collarenebri and Brewarrina (NSW), with moderate rainfall and a few embedded thunderstorms moving through those areas.

This activity is expected to continue developing throughout the day, bringing further rainfall to inland communities as moisture continues feeding into the system. So lets hope most can get a nice soaking!

Further south, patchy showers remain scattered across parts of Victoria, while the familiar onshore shower pattern continues along parts of the Southeast Queensland and Northern NSW coastline.

I'll continue providing updates throughout the day, including rainfall totals as they begin to add up across the region.

🌧️ SEQ & NENSW SHOWER UPDATE | THE WETTER PATTERN IS ARRIVING 🌧️

The wetter weather pattern discussed in yesterday's rainfall outlook is beginning to make its presence felt across parts of Southeast Queensland and Northern NSW this afternoon.

Radar imagery is showing showers developing offshore and moving onto the coast, with parts of the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Northern NSW already beginning to see periods of moderate to brief heavy rainfall, gusty winds and cooler conditions.

For many locations, this won't be an all day washout. Instead, expect a classic onshore shower pattern where periods of rain are followed by breaks, before more showers move through later on.

These showers are expected to continue throughout much of today before gradually easing this afternoon and into tonight. A few patchy showers may still linger into tomorrow, particularly along coastal areas.

As mentioned in this morning's updated rainfall outlook, this is exactly how many of those forecast rainfall totals are expected to build. Rather than falling all at once, totals will gradually accumulate through repeated showers moving onshore over several days.

So while some areas may only pick up a few millimetres at a time, those amounts can quickly add up over the course of the week.

🌧️ Have the showers reached your area yet?

🌧️ UPDATED WEEKLY RAINFALL OUTLOOK | 9/06/2026 🌧️

The weather pattern across much of eastern and southern Australia is beginning to become a little clearer, with forecast models now showing better agreement on where the most meaningful rainfall is likely to fall over the coming days.

While some areas have woken up to sunshine and blue skies this morning, it's important to remember these rainfall totals are spread across the next 5 days and will not fall all at once.

For many locations, the pattern will be more of a shower, sunshine, shower type setup rather than days of continuous rain.

🟡 **Yellow Area**
This is the area I'll be watching most closely over the next 48 hours.

Rainfall is expected to increase noticeably from tomorrow, with scattered areas of moderate to heavy rain developing across inland parts of Queensland and northern NSW. There is also the chance of a few embedded thunderstorms developing within the broader rain areas.

Average totals are generally expected to range between 10-20mm, however isolated locations could see 40mm+ where heavier rain or storms persist.

🔵 **Blue Area**
For coastal parts of Southeast Queensland and Northern NSW, the story continues to be patchy onshore showers.

These showers won't be constant, and there will still be periods of sunshine mixed in. However, the showers are expected to continue on and off over several days, allowing rainfall totals to gradually build.

Some locations may only see a few millimetres, while others could pick up around 10-30mm by the end of the week.

🔴 **Red Area**
Along parts of the North Queensland coast, onshore showers are expected to be more persistent than those further south.

Rainfall won't necessarily fall in one hit, but repeated showers moving onshore over several days are expected to gradually push totals into the 20-100mm+ range, particularly in the wetter coastal locations.

⚫ **Black Area**
This area has been one of the trickier regions to forecast, with models changing around quite a bit over recent days.

Confidence is now improving, with most guidance suggesting widespread lighter falls across the region, while isolated locations could still pick up between 20-50mm where rain becomes more organised.

🟣 **Pink Area**
Tasmania remains a little uncertain, however forecast confidence has improved compared to previous days.

At this stage, totals of around 20-60mm appear likely across parts of the highlighted area, although some locations may see more and others less depending on exactly how the systems evolve.

The main thing to remember is that these totals are forecast to accumulate over several days. Just because it's sunny at your place right now doesn't mean the forecast is wrong. These numbers represent what could fall between now and the end of the week, not what will fall today.

🌦️ SEQ & NENSW SHOWER UPDATE 🌦️ 2:30pm 8/06/2026

After a fairly decent morning across Southeast Queensland and Northern NSW, the onshore flow is starting to become slightly more noticeable this afternoon.

Earlier today, showers were mainly limited to coastal and nearby areas such as Yamba, Wooli, Grafton, parts of the Sunshine Coast and areas up towards Hervey Bay.

However, moisture is now starting to increase along the coast, with more patchy light to moderate showers beginning to develop and move onshore.

These showers are expected to continue through this afternoon and into tonight, especially around parts of the Gold Coast, coastal SEQ and Northern NSW.

This is not expected to be constant rain for most locations. It is more of a shower, break, shower type pattern, meaning some areas may see several showers while others may barely see much at all.

This is also the sort of setup I was talking about in yesterday’s weekly rainfall outlook. These showers may not look like much at first, but when they keep moving through on and off over several days, totals can slowly start to add up.

Looking further ahead, inland activity is also expected to increase more noticeably from Wednesday into Thursday, with scattered rain areas, possible storms and moderate to heavy falls developing across parts of inland Queensland and NSW.

I’ll provide another update closer to that event as confidence increases, but at this stage some inland areas could pick up some decent rainfall totals.

🌧️ WA COLD FRONT UPDATE 🌧️ 9:20am

A broad band of rain associated with the approaching cold front continues to move towards southern Western Australia this morning, with parts of the southwest already beginning to see rainfall, gusty winds and unsettled conditions.

Radar imagery shows the rain band remaining well organised offshore, with the system expected to continue spreading east throughout the day.

As the front moves closer, rainfall is expected to become more widespread across southern WA, with periods of moderate to locally heavy falls possible. Strong winds, rough coastal conditions and isolated embedded thunderstorms may also accompany the system.

The biggest change many residents are likely to notice will be the shift from relatively settled conditions to a much more wintry feel as the front passes through and colder air follows behind it.

If you're across southern WA, have you seen any rain yet? Let me know your location and conditions below. 👇

🌧️ WA COLD FRONT UPDATE | COOLER CONDITIONS ARE BACK 🌬️

Southern WA residents may want to keep the umbrella and jacket close by today, with a strengthening cold front continuing its approach towards the state this morning.

After a relatively calm start to the day for many locations with a few patchy showers moving through some areas, conditions are expected to deteriorate as the system pushes further towards the coast, bringing a burst of classic winter weather to parts of southern Western Australia, including Perth.

Periods of moderate to heavy rainfall are expected to develop throughout the day, accompanied by strong to locally damaging wind gusts, rough surf conditions and the chance of embedded thunderstorms within the broader rain band.

As the front moves through, residents can also expect a noticeable drop in temperatures, with a much colder air mass set to follow behind the system.

For Perth, tomorrow's maximum temperatures are expected to struggle around the 15-16°C mark, making for a noticeably cooler start to the week compared to recent days.

The main story with this system isn't just the rainfall, but the significant change in conditions many people are likely to notice as winter makes its presence continuing to be felt across the southwest of the state.

I'll continue monitoring the system throughout the day and provide further updates as the front moves closer.

❄️ WHY ARE CLEAR SKY NIGHTS OFTEN THE COLDEST? ❄️

After another chilly start across many parts of Australia this weekend, have you ever wondered why some of the coldest mornings seem to happen when there isn't a cloud in the sky?

During the day, the ground absorbs heat from the sun and slowly releases that heat back into the atmosphere overnight.

When cloud cover is present, those clouds act a bit like a blanket, helping trap some of that heat closer to the surface.

However, when skies are clear, there is nothing to stop that heat escaping into the atmosphere. As a result, temperatures can drop much faster overnight, often leading to colder mornings, frost and icy starts to the day.

This is why many inland locations can record some of their coldest temperatures after a clear and calm night, particularly during winter.

Did you wake up to a cold morning today?
